Oh dear.. let me try one more time..

It's true that not all mods which have admin controls/settings in the configuration menu also included a file located in admin/includes/boxes. (Edit Orders is an example of one such mod as it is only accessed via the orders.php or super_orders.php pages - which BTW may be a security issue within the new v1.5 world)

However going forward in the Zen Cart v1.5 world, it is also not true that all mods which include an admin menu item (what was formerly part of admin/includes/boxes/filename.php) will NOTt be backwards compatible with v1.3.9. It TRULY depends on the module and how it was written to begin with. (Ceon URI Mapping Manager is a current example of one such mod as it IS backwards compatible with v1.3.9)

There are a few factors which play into whether or not a mod will be backwards compatible.. Not the least of which is changes to Zen Cart core files within the mod. If those core files are different between versions of Zen Cart, then it's possible (though also not necessarily true) that the mod will not be backwards compatible..

So in the end whether or not this module with be one of the few mods that actually will be backwards compatible still remains to be seen. Not sure who's doing the updates at this point.. Seems like the original author has returned, but Daniel has done a tremendous amount of work as well keeping this mod together....
